Currently teaching in the Dept. of Humanities & Sciences at School of Visual Arts in New York City [since 2003], I have written my Masters' thesis and my Ph.D. dissertation on work by James Joyce. In the interim, I have taken part in various interanational James Joyce Symposia (in Dublin, Zurich, Trieste...) as well as other Joyce conferences (Venice, Italy; Bertinaro, Italy; Provincetown, NY; Philadelphia, PA....). At my current teaching position as well as in previous schools I have taught the literature of James Joyce over the years to students of varied backgrounds. I have been a member of the James Joyce SOciety of New York since 1981, as well as of the James Joyce Foundation...and co-founded the James Joyce Broadsheet with Pieter Bekker and Richard Brown in the apartment of Dr. Fritz Senn in Zurich (at that time in Unterengstringen during the 1979 International James Joyce Symposium hosted by ETH in the city of Zurich at which I chaired a panel of Joyce scholars that included Pieter Bekker, Maud Ellmann, Valentine Cunningham, David Lodge, and George Sandalescu. I have also reviewed very many books about Joyce for Irish Literary Supplement to which I am a co-editor (since 1982) and for James Joyce Broadsheet and may continue to do so. Any other details you might like should be addressed to me personally at: endlessmountainsbooks@yahoo.com

I do not Tweet and I do not Blog.

Please Note: There is another female writer out there in the world (and on Amazon which has been advertising my book, The Joyce of Cooking, with her bio and her photo) who has the same name as myself; she in particular writes self help books about relationships with men; this is not me. And there are others who share the same name who are not either one of us.

Please also note that I have a second book, published 1993 by Cornell University Press, a volume in their series on The Manuscripts of W. B. Yeats. The title is: "The Herne's Egg," by W.B. Yeats, the Manuscript Materials. I am the editor and textual scholar (and not the "author" although I did write all of it including scholarly introduction and notes to my transcription of the manuscript materials in the National Library of Ireland, as well as some typescript materials that turned up in the Scribners' collection at HRHRC at Univ. of Texas Austen.
